Yeah, I was worried there for a moment, because MFP is a pretty great app for tracking what you eat, among other things.

I do software quality assurance, and it wouldn't surprise me if this was put in by request of their QA department. I don't know if a human looks at every PCB, but however many they sample to QA, this would be a quick way to check

Nothing wrong with your argument theoretically, but the Surface with a 5/10 score is 3.4 lbs, while this 1/10 Macbook is 4.3 lbs.

At least this is in the article too: After the interview aired, the Uber head tried to disassociate himself from it, saying he had misspoken. “I said something in the moment that I do not believe,” Khosrowshahi said in a statement Monday. “

What's most exciting to me is how the new processors seem to do particularly well in less optimized benchmarks. From my experience these are more representative of day-to-day PC use, and I feel like the last decade of CPU releases has

I have a form of aphantasia, and also poor memory of certain kinds, usually when there's a physical component to the remembering. Names from faces is a big challenge for me by default, but I've learned to practice.

Because Requests makes HTTP much easier to work with, which has dramatically expanded the pool of developers who are comfortable doing that kind of work. When we've had to add some level of concurrency to an HTTP tool, we have serious

Yeah, I think the topic is very interesting, and I'm generally in favour of celebrating successful urban planning, but this slathered on the positive adjectives so thick that I'm surprised Xi Jinping isn't on the byline. Whic

For about 7 years, I've been battling undiagnosed Candidiasis. Cutting down wheat and sugar dramatically has mostly eliminated my symptoms, though when I get careless it comes back. I've talked to three doctors about my symptoms,

Yup, I'm completely on board for a way to monitor my consumable items. The re-ordering part is a bonus, but simply knowing what I'm nearly out of in real time would be very, very, helpful. I imagine this is more true of people wit

Neat. I've used HelloSign for several things over the years, with their fax support saving me a ton of time on numerous occasions. They've always been very easy to deal with.

No, not like that. You have a delivery service for your credit reports, which can make outgoing connections as it pleases, that ensures every credit report it delivers is paid for. You invoke it from inside your network, sending it the cred

I think this is probably where this needs to go (prison time is interesting, but if we can't get it for financiers who profit off of crashing the economy, we'll never get it for ostensible negligence). Establish standards for the

If my business is distributing data, the number one thing I would monitor for is that I'm getting paid for the data I distribute. Data that gets distributed for free is nearly the worst thing my software can do, so I should be investin

Sure, but that's at least an additional piece of security, requiring additional work to bypass. I totally agree that 100% exfil detection is near impossible. But if you were going to try to get close to it, this is one of the world&#x2

This is bizarre to me. Xiaomi has been making fitness trackers that are dramatically better than Fitbit's low-end for years: - 1/4-1/3 the price - 4x+ battery life - waterproof - more reliable, at least for me (my F

I think this is more of a complement to Selenium, where you can use Selenium to drive the browser to test the UI, with Polly providing recorded back-end responses. I need to look into it more, but this might address a need we have to make

This is mostly very good, but it wasn't a lack of technical capability that kept the ISPs in line. It was the continued threat of having net neutrality legislation updated to apply to them (or worse, for them, having internet access re
